Editor/IDE Support

For those running MS Windows you can download Emacs here. You may want to read the Emacs FAQ for Windows before customizing Emacs for use with Gambit. In order to use Emacs' inferior scheme mode on Windows, you may need to run gsi/gsc in raw stdin/stdout mode (see section "Emacs interface" in the manual for details).

Editors such as Eclipse with the SchemeWay extension, or just about any text editor with Scheme syntax highlighting, such as VIM or GVIM, may prove valuable as well.

Termite

Termite is an Erlang-like distributed programming system written in Scheme.

Distributed computing hot right now, and Termite has been noticed in blogs and elsewhere.

Termite depends on specific features of Gambit, and at one time or another
the Termite source code has been distributed with Gambit, so we point to the Termite web site
from here.

Tutorials

Internals Documentation

People who want to contribute to Gambit development will need to learn something about how the Gambit-C
runtime and compiler are organized. While we intend that source code documentation be included in the source
itself (currently there is very little documentation), we intend that descriptions of program design
or algorithms used in the runtime and compiler could be included on the Internal Documentation page.

Working with External Libraries

With Gambit's C FFI (Foreign Function Interface), one can easily use standard C and C++ libraries with your code; this wiki has some examples of and practices on using Gambit with external libraries. See Using Gambit with External Libraries.
